Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory 25% tariffs on $107 billion worth of U.S. imports in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese goods. The Canadian tariffs, targeting products like beer, wine, bourbon, orange juice, clothing, and household appliances, will take effect in two phases. Trudeau warned that Trump’s actions would harm both Canadian and American economies, threatening U.S. auto and manufacturing jobs while raising consumer costs.
Canada is also exploring non-tariff measures, including critical minerals and energy procurement. The U.S.-Canada border handles $2.5 billion in daily trade, with Canadian exports to the U.S. accounting for nearly 18% of its GDP and supporting over 2.4 million jobs.
Trudeau, facing political challenges and a planned resignation, emphasized Canada’s strong historical ties with the U.S. and urged Canadians to support local products and vacation domestically. He promised resilience, stating, “We didn’t ask for this, but we will not back down.”
